Breathing roughly, Castle moved to kiss at his wife's shoulders while he lay next to her and then said, "What time is it?"

Laughing softly, Beckett told him, "You're the one with a watch."

"I am," Castle said, starting to raise his arm.

Beckett expected him to tell her what time it was when he was suddenly shooting up and she asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," Castle said hurriedly. "I never put my glasses back on."

"Oh… hurry," Beckett said, sitting up as she watched him go. She was looking to the windows that were in their room before she called to him, "How did we miss that?"

"I don't know," Castle said. "And you should have said it was more me."

"It was but after you I should have noticed," Beckett replied easily. She smiled when she looked over at her husband walking up to the bed while putting his glasses on and she told him, "Thank you."

"You're welcome," Castle said simply. "And it's past five." He saw the surprise on his wife's face at how vague he was and explained, "I took a quick look."

"Then we have time to relax," Beckett said.

"Cuddle?" Castle immediately replied with. He smiled when she laughed, and he laid down on the bed before they were lightly kissing one another. He held her tightly to his side and murmured, "I just remembered something Kate."

"That we were supposed to count?" Beckett replied.

"We were," Castle said.

"Do you mind?" Beckett asked him with a smile as she nuzzled his jaw with her nose.

"Not really," Castle said before he turned to his wife and was kissing her. As they were doing so fervently, he could feel his arousal beginning to stir again and he stopped them a little after before he told her, "We have to get ready."

"You sound disappointed," Beckett told him, smiling at him.

"I don't really want to stop," Castle replied seriously. He then kissed her again but didn't linger before he watched her getting off the bed. He followed her to the bathroom where they washed up, telling her, "I should say; we got in five really good orgasms."

"Pervert," Beckett replied as she was washing her hair. "But you are right," she said while she was rubbing her shampoo though her locks again. "They were really good."

Stepping right up to his wife, Castle couldn't stop himself from speaking huskily as he told her, "I can give you more."

"I want you to," Beckett said, speaking seriously as well. "But not yet."

"I know, it's driving me crazy," Castle told her.

"Wash your hair love," Beckett said gently to him. She took his kiss before she watched him moving to get his shampoo. They didn't stand too close to each other as they were hurrying to finish and once she was dried off and wrapped up in a towel she told him, "I wonder if we should dress for dinner or wear what we did to the pool?"

Castle was about to answer that when he stopped himself and then said at the same time as her, "Pool."

Laughing with him, Beckett turned her attention to getting dressed, slipping on a pair of panties in the bedroom before putting on another sundress she had. She saw her husband looking at her and said with a smile, "I forgot it smells like chlorine."

"Oh…" Castle began before he looked at the trunks he was holding. He discarded them and grabbed a pair of boxers and the trousers he would wear at dinner before he grabbed his dress shirt. "I guess I'm disobeying orders," he told his wife when they were finished.

"I forgot about the chlorine," Beckett said with a slight shrug of her shoulders. She was smiling a second later when her husband was leaning down to her and they kissed tenderly before they parted.

"I'll text… someone," Castle said as they were gazing at one another.

"Go ahead," Beckett told him, light laughter in her voice. She watched him hurry to his phone on his nightstand before she said, "Hopefully they're not swimming."

"They aren't," Castle said, looking up at her. "I texted Alexis; they're going to the family room."

Hurrying to the couch across from their bed, Beckett got her tablet while her husband followed and she had the Skype app opened in time for the call. "Hello girls," she said, seeing their four daughters sitting on the couch in the family room.

"Hi Mom," Alexis said first.

"Hey Mom," Julia said.

"Hi Mommy!" Eliza told her next.

"Mama," Josie said, reaching for the screen.

Smiling when the girls greeted him next, Josie crying, "No!" Castle said, "So you just want to talk to your mom?"

"We don't," Eliza said so firmly that she suddenly burst out laughing, her family joining her. "Sorry, are you happy?"

"Happy Anniversary!" the three oldest said before their parents could reply.

"Thank you, girls," Beckett replied. "And yes, we're happy."

"Did you swim at all?" Julia asked.

"We did," Castle said first.

"He's right, we had our lunch today by the pool and then went swimming," Beckett said, smiling at him.

"How fun," Eliza said happily.

"Am… ah… wa… wa," Josie said.

"That's right sweetie," Beckett told the baby, smiling at her that time. "And we even raced each other."

Castle glanced at his wife from the corner of his eye with her saying that, but he didn't comment since the girls were asking her who won. When Beckett pointed to him, he sighed and said, "It was me, but it was really unfair for your mom."

"She has beaten you before Dad," Alexis said.

"She said the same thing," Castle replied, nodding to his wife.

"Did you bet something?" Julia asked. "For whoever won?"

"Not really, it was for fun and to exercise," Beckett commented.

"At least it was fun," Eliza whispered to her oldest sister.

"It was," Beckett said in amusement. "Where are your grandparents?"

"Gram and Grandpapa are getting ready," Alexis explained. "They wanted our conversation to go quickly with you, but they said Happy Anniversary."

"When we all said it to you," Eliza said with a smile.

"Okay," Castle said, doing his best not to laugh. "What did you guys do today?"

"Riding and then swimming," Julia said simply.

"Going to need a little more detail than that Julia," Castle told her.

Laughing at her father's tone, Julia explained saying, "I woke up early with Mari, Erin, Skye and Mary and we went to the stables where Brennan and Clara already were. We rode around a little before it got too hot, and I got to currycomb the mare I rode."

"Great," Beckett said with a smile. "How was the ride."

"Fun, but I did miss you guys being there too," Julia explained. She then said, "And after that we just spent the whole day in the pool."

"Sounds like it was a fun day," Castle said. "What about after dinner?"

"We're gonna play games," Eliza said, looking at her older sisters who nodded.

"First with the babies and then with the next youngest and last with the oldest," Alexis said with a smile.

"Good, we want to hear tomorrow when we call about it," Beckett said. When the girls nodded, she said, "I hate to stop now."

"We'll talk to you tomorrow Mom," Alexis said.

"Still hard to," Castle replied. He smiled when the girls were all laughing and he said, "We'll call at the same time."

"Okay," Julia and Eliza said at the same time.

After they had stopped laughing with their daughters, Castle and Beckett told the four goodnight before they ended their call and turned to each other.

"At least we're going to see them soon," Beckett said first.

Smiling at her, Castle leaned over and lightly kissed his wife on the lips before he said, "I was thinking the same," since they would be heading to White Mount on the nineteenth. "And then summer is over."

"We have plenty to occupy our time until then," Beckett reminded him as she got up from the couch.

Castle leaned into his wife's palm while she cupped his cheek but let her go while he stood. "I'll order?" he asked her.

"That would be nice," Beckett said. She hurried over to the armoire and grabbed her blue lace dress before going into the bathroom. She changed, hearing her husband through the door ordering before she was slipping on her heels and stepping out. When he turned to her; dressed in a suit; she was going to comment on the fact that he was wearing a tie when he was speaking breathily first while he walked up to her in a rush.

"Féachann tú grá taibhseach," Castle said, telling her she looked gorgeous.

"Thank you," Beckett said, reaching up to the lapels of his blazer and straightening them slightly. She then smiled up at him and said, "Ba mhaith liom tú."

Breathing out a little hard, since she had told him she wanted him, Castle said jokingly, "That's not fair, I could have said that."

Laughing softly, Beckett calmed down when her husband leaned down to her and she was wrapping her arms around him as he did the same to her. They were kissing deeply until they had to stop, and she tilted her head back slightly when her husband went to her neck. Feeling his kisses were gentle, she opened her eyes and smiled telling him, "We should stop."

"I know," Castle said, standing up straight then. Looking into her eyes he smiled and leaned down slightly so he could press his lips to hers. He lingered but not for very long since he didn't do much else and he said when he could speak, "Your lips?"

"I'm going to put some lip gloss on," Beckett said.

Noticing she had said that hesitantly, Castle said, "I could wait to kiss you."

Beckett laughed and said, "I'd like to see that; especially because I wouldn't be able to stop myself either." She brushed her lips to his and then said, "I'll put a little."

Castle was disappointed in letting her go but walked after her so he could stand in the doorway to the bathroom. "Kate?" he asked as she was finishing.

"Hmm?" Beckett replied, turning towards him at his tone.

"Would you mind picking out a position too?" Castle asked.

"No," Beckett said with a smile. "I was going to insist that you let me."

Taking her right hand with both of his own, Castle brushed hips lips to her fingers and told her, "I don't care what we do, I just want us to be together."

"We will," Beckett said, touched at his tender tone of voice. "And we will repeatedly Rick." She wasn't surprised when he was shuddering at her words and she said, "We… the food will be here soon."

"What's wrong?" Castle asked her.

Shaking her head Beckett let him go and said, "I don't want anything to be noticeable when they bring our dinner," though she was still feeling her breasts aching with her desire.

"True," Castle said, letting her go so they could head back to the bedroom. He smiled as he watched her touch one of the white orchids in the bouquet with delphiniums and bells of Ireland he'd had sent to the room while they'd been swimming. He was going to comment on her doing that, but there was a knock on the door and he went to open it so he could let in the employee who had brought their food. He tipped the man, relieved when he was focused on his work and not looking at his wife, though he felt bad after locking the door and told Beckett that while they were sitting together at the table.

"I don't mind," she said. Beckett smiled when her husband looked at her with wide eyes and she said, "Really, you're possessive but not in a way that manifests as being physical… or negative really."

Castle couldn't help hugging her with one arm, feeling a thrill going through him as she was laughing softly. "I'm going to assume you're the same," he told her.

"Of course, I noticed some of the women coming into the pool room were looking at you," Beckett said. "It's why we didn't stop fucking after we came back."

Shuddering again in pleasure at her rough tone, Castle grabbed her hand and kissed the back of it before they forced themselves to their food. He wasn't surprised when they were quiet at first until she brought up the next day. They hadn't really planned on anything and he tried to get her to admit she wanted to go out of their room and the hotel. But she insisted they were going to stay in; except for another swim; when they were finishing the meal. "Kate," he started to say.

"Don't Rick," Beckett told him firmly, standing with her plate. She couldn't help smiling when her husband was jumping up and taking that along with his own. "Don't worry," she finally told him. "I want to be with you; that long being celibate and we just spend one day? I don't think it's enough; neither do you."

"As long as you want it," Castle finally agreed, nodding his head.

"Good, now let's take the plates out and head around the hotel outside for a walk," Beckett said. She laughed when her husband looked at her in surprise, but she then told him, "I need to change my shoes though, I'll meet you at the door."

"Sure," Castle said, hurrying to do as she asked. He had everything in the hall on the tray the worker had left before his wife was with him in flat shoes. He was about to ask what she wanted to do, but she was answering him before he could say a word.

"I'd like to head to the bridge that's over the river," Beckett was saying. "Just watch the water for a little before we come back in."

"You're sure you don't want to go at least into town tomorrow," Castle said with a slight frown.

Shaking her head, Beckett took her husband's hand and entwined their fingers immediately before she told him, "I'm sure."

At her firm tone with those two words, Castle nodded before he turned his attention to the door, opening it as he needed a distraction from the arousal that shot through him. They headed down to the lobby and out the front door before they were walking around the gravel path to the side of the house. When they'd reached the bridge, they turned to the direction the river was flowing from and leaned against the railing. They were silent, though he wanted to ask his wife a question before he gently cleared his throat to get her attention. When she soon after turned her head to him he said, "What's wrong Kate?"

Smiling, since her husband was very obviously concerned, Beckett told him, "Nothing's wrong, I've been thinking of this morning."

"What about it?" Castle asked her.

"I watched you for a while," Beckett replied. "Before I woke you up." She turned fully to him then and cupped his face in her hands before she drew him down to her for a kiss. It was gentle and light and once they parted, she told him, "And the years we've had."

"Nearly ten years," Castle replied. "If you're counting from where you came to me."

Smiling at him calling the start of their relationship that, Beckett told him, "I am." She wasn't surprised when he frowned slightly and was rushing to tell him, "I wasn't thinking of those four years before that point, I promise. I want to enjoy today."

"It is night," Castle said as they turned to the water again though that time he wrapped his arm around her.

"Smart-ass," Beckett said teasing, laughing softly when her husband was nuzzling the side of her head. "Rick-" she started to say.

"Good evening sir, ma'am," a man said, coming to the end of the bridge.

After he and his wife had greeted the security guard, Castle said, "Are we not allowed on the bridge?"

"You are, I'm just making sure you don't head onto the course; that's closed for the night," the man said.

"We're not," Beckett said. "We're going to head into the hotel right now actually."

"Then good evening to you both," the man told them before he walked back to the path along the side of the hotel.

"We should go," Beckett told her husband.

"Great idea," Castle replied before he took her hand, and they made their way to the front door. When they were about to go around the corner to it, he paused suddenly as he'd felt something hit his shoulder. It took him a second to realize what it was; the same for Beckett; and they were rushing to go inside as the rain started up again. "Just made it," he said a little breathlessly to his wife after they'd thanked the doorman who'd opened the door for them.

"Good thing," Beckett said simply. She could feel her husband's confusion as they walked through the lobby but didn't say anything until they were inside the entry to their stateroom. "I didn't want to take off my clothes," she then said, watching Castle for his reaction. She was startled when he didn't really give her any indication that he took pleasure in her words but didn't have the chance to comment on that as he was taking her hand and pulling her firmly into the bedroom while he spoke.

"Neither do I, we can worry about that later," Castle replied. He turned to her and then said, "I'd like to give you your gift."

"I was going to say," Beckett said. "Champagne though?"

"Yeah," Castle replied as he'd had two glasses delivered to their room. He went to get the manila envelope that had the picture of her gift and he was about to go to the couch when she called to him to get the one on her shelf. He grabbed it and said, "Does it still count as a gift?" jokingly. "I'm giving it to myself."

"Give me that," Beckett said, rolling her eyes as she took the envelope that was for him. She then smiled and said, "Then you don't want it." She laughed outright when her husband held the envelope in his hand out to her before she took it and told him, "Hopefully you'll like it."

"I'm thinking the same about your gift," Castle said as he got his envelope. He waited for her to open her envelope and said, "I went with the traditional gift."

Pulling out a photograph, Beckett smiled and said, "I can see that."

"I would have had it here but it's summer and even though it's raining it's a little hot to use it for anything," Castle explained.

"Anything?" Beckett asked him in amusement. "Rick, you should have just said."

Pursing his lips playfully, Castle then said with a laugh, "Really it's more for you to decide, it's your blanket."

"It is beautiful," Beckett said, looking at the tartan wool plaid blanket in blues, greens and white in the photo for a moment. She looked back at her husband and leaned over to share a kiss with him saying, "Thank you."

"You're welcome," Castle replied. "The color's okay?"

"It is," Beckett said as she was smiling again. She then urged him to open his envelope saying, "I went with the modern list."

Taking out the photo inside, Castle nodded and said, "Wow, that's a really great set," as his wife had given him a dark blue fountain pen set.

"It did say pen and pencil, but I didn't think you'd use the pencil and it'd be a waste," Beckett explained.

"It's awesome," Castle replied, reaching for her then so he could kiss her. When they were sitting again, he set his picture down before reaching for the champagne flutes before handing one to his wife. Once she was holding it, he held his glass out slightly and said, "To us love; and many, many more years spending a day here."

"To us," Beckett replied, smiling. They tapped their glasses together and she took a sip before she was kissing Castle as he was leaning into her. After a while they soon parted and she said, "Should we?"

"We have to," Castle said simply. He smiled when she laughed softly before they got up from the couch and he was going to his phone. When the beginning of Always started to play, he turned to his wife and reached for her hand, pulling her to him before their arms wrapped around each other tightly. They'd gone to the space in front of the bed, and he was relishing holding her in his arms. He couldn't help murmuring the lyrics once Paul was singing them, saying them into his wife's ear and neither of them stopping until the song had finished.

Beckett, stepping out of her husband's arms, smiled when he watched her with obvious surprise on his face and she walked to the desk before she was leaning against it, facing him. She was a little startled when he strode to her but was soon ready as he grabbed her, and they proceeded to kiss passionately. She could feel his hands all over her body and her pleasure was rising before her husband broke away from her and began to speak roughly.

"Kate, what… what do you want," Castle breathed to her huskily.

Beckett didn't say a word in response, only reached for him and pulled him closer to her before they were beginning to kiss. After they'd been doing that for a while, she pulled away and gently whispered into his ear before she got up on top of the desk. With her husband staring at her intently, she reached up for the bun in her hair, taking out her mother's comb and handing it to him before she waited for him return from the bathroom. She felt her heart was nearly thudding in her chest with the way Castle's blue eyes were all but black and she did her best not to stumble in taking the pins out of her locks. She finally had them out of the way and her hair tumbled around her shoulders, her husband quick to reach up and caress it, letting it slide over his fingers.

"You're incredible Kate," Castle told her seriously, looking from the brown locks to her eyes. Before she could respond he was leaning over and kissing her deeply, placing his hand on her shoulder before sliding it down her arm. As she wrapped hers around his neck, he took the chance to slip his arm around her waist before tugging her against him.

"Wait," Beckett gasped a little in joy at the motion. With her husband staring down at her, she raised the skirt of her dress and watched him take in the fact that she'd been naked under it.

"This whole time?" Castle asked her. When his wife gave a slight nod, he breathed out roughly and said, "I'm going to come before we even start."

"You won't," Beckett said with a smile. "Unless I-" she started to say while she reached for his trousers. She was stopped suddenly by her husband grabbing her by the wrists and she gasped before asking him, "No?"

"No," Castle replied, hearing how rough his voice was before he was kissing her again. That time he wasn't lingering, pulling away so he could reach for the desk chair and bring it up to the desk. "Don't stop me," he told his wife seriously as he stared up into her eyes.

"I won't," Beckett breathed to him before he was leaning down. She tensed while he was brushing his lips along the inside of her thighs and she leaned back on her hands pulling her skirt up further so she could have an unobstructed view of him until he was reaching the junction of her legs.

Castle was extremely pleased as he proceeded to pleasure his wife with only his mouth, sucking and rubbing his tongue around her folds and clit. He was being greatly affected and he couldn't help thinking for a moment about that morning when he'd been doing the same though not on the same surface. The sudden reminder she was on the desk spurred him to go faster and she was suddenly gripping the back of his head as she cried out in her orgasm. He was doing his best to focus on her fully, but it was difficult to ignore her vocal pleasure and the taste of her. He dimly heard a thud before he felt her calming down. When he sat back in the chair, he saw she was leaning against the wall and he recalled the thud he'd heard. "Are you okay?" he asked in immediate concern, leaning over to her.

"Yeah," Beckett replied with a dazed smile from her satiety. "Are you?

"Why would you think…" Castle started to say before he looked down at himself. He trailed off seeing the bulge his erection was making and was going to sit down again when his wife was squeezing his hand before she was making a request.

"Would you bring the champagne?" Beckett asked. She smiled as her husband ran over to the coffee table and lowered her skirt before moving to stand and lean back against the desk.

"Okay?" Castle asked, watching her sip at her drink before he did the same with his glass.

"Hmm, I am," Beckett replied. "You do that so well." She was startled when he mumbled into his glass and she said, "Rick," gently.

Sighing Castle said, "I hope it's not crude, but your clit gets incredibly distended, and you were so wet you were nearly dripping. With that to work with…"

Beckett smiled at his husband spreading his hands and said, "You're that good."

"You're sure?" Castle asked, though he knew she was already.

"I'll remind you you're the only man who's ever done that to me," Beckett said. She finished her champagne and then said, "And there's a reason why."

Castle, staring into her eyes, quickly drank the rest of the champagne he had and he hurriedly took her glass to set them aside. When he walked back to his wife, he was going to embrace her, but she was stopping him again. He felt her tugging at the sides of his blazer, and he took over, removing that while she turned her attention to untying his tie.

Beckett found herself smiling as she pulled her husband's shirt from his trousers and when he asked her what she was planning to do she took that as a cue and quickly toed off her shoes. She made Castle turn around to lean against the desk before she went to her knees and hurried to open the fly of his trousers before she realized he was helping her. She looked up at him and seeing the anticipation on his face she was turning her attention back to him, gently taking his erection out from his boxers. She held it with both hands and lowered her mouth around him immediately, not wanting to delay since she knew he had to have been affected greatly pleasuring her. She was bobbing her head soon after and she didn't stop, using her hands as well eventually until her husband was climaxing. She was working on him all the way through until he had been still for some time and she pulled away, standing up against him.

"What do you want now?" Castle asked her. Before she could respond to that, he grabbed her, kissing her deeply and reaching for the back of her dress before she was stopping him. "Kate-" he said in disappointment.

Shaking her head, Beckett tugged him down to her for a kiss. When they had stopped, she told him, "Don't take it off yet."

Castle was going to tell her he wanted to at least pull her dress down to her waist, but she was wrapping her hand around his length, rubbing it a few times. It was a shock when she stopped but he opened his eyes to find she had turned around. That quickly told him what she wanted, and he moved quickly to reach for the bottom of her skirt. He pulled it up and over her ass before he was carefully moving to enter her. He slid into her slowly and made sure she was ready, her hands on the desk before he pressed his lips against her hair and asked, "Are you alright?"

"Yes," Beckett moaned since she was throbbing against him and could feel him doing the same. She braced herself as he carefully pulled back before he was thrusting hard inside of her and she was crying out. "Please! Oh… oh Rick, fuck me please!" she was telling him, having to rush to say the last without stopping. She could feel him slapping against her ass when he managed to speed up and she tried to hold herself up though she was having a hard time. "Rick… love… let… stop…" she gasped out, unable to say that all together.

Doing so immediately, Castle asked, "Are you okay?"

"Yes, I didn't want to come like that," Beckett said. She was about to try and lift herself up onto the desk when her husband was stopping her. "Are you okay?" she deliberately echoed him.

"I want this down to your waist," Castle told her seriously while he stared into her eyes, his hands on her shoulders.

Beckett hesitated, since she had reasons to leave her dress as it was and do as her husband had asked before she finally decided and shook her head. "You're waiting until we go to the bed," she told him firmly as she was reaching for his shirt. She pulled it apart, not caring about the buttons at that moment, realizing her husband was of the same mindset as he helped her onto the desk. She was raising her skirt with her husband's help and grabbing his length before pulling him to her. She wrapped her arms around him tightly, her legs following when he sank into her body and she begged him, "Fuck me Rick, I want to feel you now."

Castle nodded, not believing he could speak since he was feeling her sex around him again, and he began to thrust, doing so as hard as he could immediately. He wasn't surprised when his wife cried out in reaction and held him tighter before she was tilting her head back. He didn't try varying his pace, keeping it to the rapid one he'd found since it made their hips slap together. When they were orgasming concurrently, he was doing his best to remain coupled with his wife, his body telling him to thrust even harder though his muscles were straining by then. He wasn't sure how exactly he managed to keep from collapsing on her, but he did and coming back to himself once he had come down from his peak, he pushed his weight on his hands so he could look at his wife. "Kate?" he asked as she had her eyes closed still.

"I'm okay," Beckett said quickly before she looked at her husband, smiling at him. "Now we can move to the bed," she added before she was sighing when Castle moved away from her. She pushed aside her disappointment as he was helping her down, and she led the way to the bed before her dress was tugged behind her. She smiled while she stopped immediately and said, "You can't wait?"

"No," Castle said firmly while he was unzipping the back of the dress. He allowed his wife to remove it as he was turning his attention to the remainder of his clothes and once she was turning to him, he said, "Now I want to collect on my bet."

"Get your tablet," Beckett said with a smile.

"Sit on the bed? Right here?" Castle asked. He wasn't surprised when she was doing so; though looking puzzled; and he hurried to grab two things before he returned to her.

"Why my sundress?" Beckett asked though her husband was going on the tablet. She took the device when he was handing it to her shortly after and seeing the etching on the screen said, "Is it the position or the wet t-shirt effect?"

"To be honest the wet t-shirt effect," Castle confessed. "But not the position."

"You want me to wear the dress?" Beckett then asked. "You know I have blouses with us."

Shaking his head Castle leaned down to her after cupping her cheek with his hand and telling her, "I want you to wet it yourself; however you want; and come back here to the bed."

Biting at her lower lip; as a plethora of ideas came to mind with that; Beckett finally nodded and asked, "How… what will we do after I'm out here with you again?"

"I'll tell you when you're here," Castle said. "Trust me."

Smiling, Beckett stood and brushed her lips to her husband's once he was sitting where she was and she told him, "You know I do. I'll be back out." She slipped into the bathroom, closing the door behind her so her husband wouldn't come over to watch her. She went to the tub, stepping in it before she grabbed the showerhead attachment and turned it on. She had debated using cold or hot water, deciding on cold for a better affect for herself and her husband. Once she had finished, she had to dry off a little so she wouldn't end up soaking the bed though she had a feeling she would still do that. She didn't stop to change her mind, moving so she would leave the room.

Hearing the door opening, Castle turned his attention rapidly from his tablet to the door. He sucked in a breath of air spotting his wife stepping out and finding she had soaked her entire dress. "Oh… god love," he breathed out to her. "Kate you…" he nearly wheezed.

"I see why you wanted this dress," Beckett said, smiling as it was so light and thin she knew he was seeing her areola and nipples and her mound between her legs. Once she had reached him, she watched him pressing the fabric against her cleft so it was visible, and she was shuddering in pleasure as he was rubbing along the slit and finding her clit easily. "Rick… oh… you said you didn't want it to be like the book… etching!" she gasped because he was easily arousing her.

"I know," Castle said, stopping himself then. He turned his attention to her breasts and was nuzzling her nipples, loving how erect they were before he felt his wife gently wrapping her arms around him. "Stop?" he asked her.

"No, I'm aware this is what you want," Beckett said with a smile though she didn't realize it was a little shaky since she was heavily aroused by his touch. "Though… it's enough."

"It is," Castle breathed, cupping her mounds with his hands. He gently rubbed his thumbs over her nipples and said, "I wasn't intending this to stay for too long on you."

"Of course not," Beckett said eagerly before her husband was pulling on the tie that held it closed. She stopped him before he could get up and told him, "Watch me going and coming."

"Okay," Castle said, though he knew he'd missed a good smart-ass comment with her last word. He didn't worry about it for long though, watching her walking to the bathroom. He shuddered and was clutching at the edge of the bed to keep himself from touching his erection though it was throbbing against his stomach. When she walked over to him, he said, "Kate… I can't move right now, please take the tablet and go to the one with Polyenos and Chryseis. Please."

Smiling at him, Beckett did as he had requested, and she was getting the tablet before swiping to that etching before she considered it.

"We won't be close," Castle told her, his heart beating fast and his erection nearly thumping on his skin at her slow smile.

"We don't always have to be," Beckett said, closing the tablet and setting it aside.

"You closed the pictures," Castle told her.

"Hmm, I did," Beckett replied, smiling at him again and moving to get on the bed. "If you're wondering about my turn then I decided I don't want those."

"No?" Castle asked, his hand cupping her ass.

"No, I want a sampla," Beckett said. "Wherever we can go," she added seriously.

"Fucking vixen," Castle said. "You want me to fuck you," he asked as he carefully stood up.

"Now, yes," Beckett said, laying across the bed, close enough to her husband so he could reach her. "But when we do that, we're making it last."

"For h-hours," Castle breathed when she was taking his member in her hand.

"However long we can stand it," Beckett said. "It would be nice i-if," she started to say, her voice distorting when he was entering her carefully. "We could last that long but, I don't think I can."

"Neither could I," Castle said seriously, staring at her stretched out under him since their hips were pressing together. "Kate," he said huskily. "You're so beautiful, so stunning, I don't want to make this too fast."

Shaking her head Beckett only said two words, "Quickie, now." She bit her lower lip for a moment when Castle froze at that before he was reaching for her legs and speaking at the same time.

"I will," he told her seriously. "Whatever you want," Castle said as he held her legs, her left one in the air above his shoulder.

"Not this time," Beckett breathed to him as he was just barely moving within her. "Do whatever you want after this." She expected him to protest but was startled when he was beginning to thrust rapidly within her. His pace was set very shortly after that and she did her best not to climax too quickly as she was moving her hips to go along with him the best she could. She wasn't sure how much time they had spent in their movements, hips slapping and echoing through their room, only that her orgasm was rushing through her entire body before her husband was joining her. Her back was arching, and she wasn't sure where exactly her legs were before she was calming down. When she was a little more aware of herself, she noticed her left was hanging on his shoulder and her right was hooked around his waist though she couldn't recall doing that. She sighed and said, once her husband was still, "You're not going to fall, are you?"

"I think I'm good," Castle replied before his wife was gently pushing him away from her. He sighed once he'd withdrawn from her body and said, "I'm going back really soon," feeling a thrill travel through him when she was laughing softly. "It's a good position though," he said after he inelegantly; on purpose; flopped onto the bed on his stomach next to her.

"It is," Beckett replied, since they'd used it before. She leaned over to him and kissed at the backs of his shoulders before she said, "What do you think about starting again soon?"

Turning his head so he was looking at her over his shoulder, Castle asked, "What about you?"

"I may need a little help," Beckett told him before she was smiling. Her eyes widened for a moment as her husband was scrambling to get up, but she recovered quickly as she knew why he was doing that. She threw her arms around him as soon as he was on his knees and they were kissing hungrily. Their tongues were dueling together, and she wasn't surprised when they didn't stop until their lips were heavily swollen. "Oh! Uh… Rick…" she gasped out as he was rubbing her clit.

Stopping quickly, as he wasn't sure of her tone, Castle asked, "Too soon?"

"A little," Beckett replied. She let her husband lay her down, expecting him to kiss her on the lips, when he was instead kissing at her folds and even lighter at her clit. She gasped at him licking her folds shortly after and as he moved around to her thighs before going back it didn't take much longer before she was moaning his name.

"Are you…" Castle started to say though he stopped himself because he wasn't sure how he wanted to word that.

"Wet… you can feel," Beckett replied before her husband was making her get up. When they were on their knees, she told him, "I don't have my dress on," as the position was close to the etching in I Modi.

"It doesn't need to be," Castle said before he was kissing her. He slipped his first two fingers in her before moving them back and forth a few times before he was withdrawing them. "Kate… how am I supposed to tell-" he started to say as he recalled his release from before was still inside her. But her cutting him off with a kiss was enough to end his question and once they parted, he gently fingered her clit, feeling it was still heavily swollen. Hearing her soft moan, he then asked, "How?"

"We'll take turns," Beckett replied immediately. "You're first."

"You should be, last one was my choice," Castle responded.

Beckett was going to protest, but decided she really wanted the first choice of their position, and she drew her husband with her to the end of the bed where she leaned her arms on the top of the dresser there. "Don't make me faint," she told him.

"We won't be long doing that," Castle said. When his wife's response was to motion him with her hand, he had his answer and was rushing to enter her. They were groaning together before he started to move, leaning over her and holding onto the dresser so his skin would slap against her ass. He was trying to focus on his wife's reaction though his pleasure was immediate and intense, wanting to make sure they wouldn't lose their chance to go through multiple positions. Luckily she was crying out to him to stop and he was pulling away from her, making her lay down on the bed though her head just missed the pillows at the top. He entered her immediately and started to thrust before his wife was gasping and telling him what she wanted when it was her turn.

"I'm going to… be on… on top," Beckett managed to say. She cried out when her husband suddenly rolled them around so she was above him and she was holding onto him so he would sit up with her. She didn't start moving immediately, watching her husband as he was lowering his head. Feeling his mouth sucking at her left nipple, she cried out and tilted her head back since the pleasure was immediate and she held onto him tighter before he was moving to her other. After he'd suckled there for a while, she caressed his hair before she made him stop. "My turn love," she told him with a smile. She was biting her lower lip again when her husband was nodding rapidly, but soon started to move, pushing herself up and down on him slowly. Holding onto him, she told her husband, "I'm not going to do this again."

"No?" Castle asked in disappointment though his voice was distorted in his pleasure.

"No," Beckett replied. She'd had more to say, but she was switching her movements, rocking her lower body back and forth as fast as she could before they were kissing suddenly. They were clutching at each other at the same time, and when they had to stop to breathe, she was arching her back as her husband had slapped her ass. "Again… please!" she begged him.

"Not like this," Castle told her. He wasn't surprised when his wife was getting off him and he led her until she was on her hands and knees in front of him. He then reached down and slapped at her once, watching her slump down to her arms before he covered it with one hand and squeezed.

"Again," Beckett breathed to him. She was letting out another cry when her husband was quickly doing as she had asked, and she prepared herself for him entering her again. But she was taken aback for a moment when he was instead grabbing her, almost hauling her up so they were on their knees again. She wasn't sure how exactly she knew what position he wanted, only that she needed to move in front of him. Facing away from him, she let him lead her until his erection was back inside of her. They were moving at the same time together and she knew at that point they weren't going to stop to discuss anything since the need for their bodies to be coupled was too great.

Castle and Beckett spent some time together going around the bed at first, making sure they were changing into several positions. After they had moved from being on their knees, Beckett had led her husband to the headboard, letting him take her with her back against it. They had nearly climaxed doing that, so they moved to a standard missionary position though they couldn't use it for very long either. It was then they took a brief pause, laying side by side on the bed while they were merely catching their breath and regaining their energy.

After Castle moved to kiss Beckett tenderly, the two began to touch one another until they were stopping each other frantically. They shared another kiss before Beckett pulled her husband off the bed and around to one of the posts of the bedframe. She held it and looked back at Castle until he was moving to take her again. They used that position a little longer than the last before they were moving together to the desk though they had to pause for Castle to grab a towel for Beckett. They toed the line of climaxing again there before they were stopping, and he was speaking first.

Though he was still panting, Castle asked his wife, "Do you want to keep trying?"

"Let's… why don't we go back to the… wait," Beckett said, her gaze suddenly got caught on the windows opposite the bed. "Take me against the windows."

Turning his head, since he was still sheathed in her sex, Castle studied those and said, "Are you sure?"

"Yes," Beckett said. They were both groaning in reaction to him stepping away from her, but she was hurrying to follow him over to the windows before she was pressed against the cooler pane and feeling her husband ramming in her. Though they hadn't been so rough yet she wasn't surprised that Castle was doing so then and she pressed her forehead against the window before he was stopping.

"Kate, the bed, we have to go back to the bed," Castle told her seriously. He pulled back enough to see she was nodding before he was withdrawing from her carefully and taking her to it. He helped her lay down and got on top of her since she had taken his hand and was pulling him. He kissed her as soon as he was settled on her, slipping his tongue into her mouth and feeling hers curling around it before they were dueling. He was relieved at the break, but eventually they needed to stop after a few more kisses, and he pressed his forehead against hers before her lips brushed against his own while she was whispering to him.

"Fuck me love," Beckett told him. "I want to come with your cock ramming into my pussy."

Shuddering in joy at her words, Castle kissed her again but didn't linger as he pulled away from her so he could begin thrusting. He was groaning as his wife cried out and he managed to tell her, "Goddess, I don't want to stop. Your pussy is too fucking tight around my cock."

"I… Rick I'm going… going to come!" Beckett cried out to him as his words served as the last little push she needed. She had her legs around his waist and her heels were nearly beating into his ass when her body broke fully and she was moaning, "Come with me Rick, please love I want to feel your come filling me!" She wasn't sure if she told him anything else, more focused on her ecstasy as it was racking her body in the most satisfying way possible. When her husband complied with her request, she wasn't sure, but she soon felt his release filling her until she was suddenly digging her nails into her husband's back. She wasn't sure how he had pushed her into a second orgasm, but he had and she was crying out his name repeatedly when he followed her. She became a little dazed with the pleasure filling her until everything seemed to abruptly stop and she was trembling while her husband gave her a few more thrusts before he was still.

"Kate," Castle breathed out in pleasure when he could speak. He moved to kiss her, doing so sensuously as he wanted them to remain in the daze of joy in the afterglow of their intense orgasms. When they had to stop to breathe, they parted and he said, "Was it long enough?"

Laughing softly, Beckett nodded and said, "I wasn't even paying attention to actual time." She waited for him to carefully withdraw from her and said, "I should tell you Rick."

"Tell me what?" Castle asked once he was laying on his back and she was pressing against his side.

"I've decided what I'm going to do with my blanket," Beckett replied. When she saw the questioning look on her husband's face she smiled and said, "When it's cold enough, we're laying it on the floor in front of the windows and you're fucking me on it."

Tensing up at her words, spoken in a nearly sultry tone of voice, Castle took a moment before he said, "Okay, then in winter."

"Yes," Beckett said with a smile. She kissed him lightly before she said, "Happy Anniversary Rick. I love you," as she was caressing his cheek.

"I love you Kate," Castle said seriously, taking her hand and pulling it to his lips so he could kiss it. "Happy Anniversary." They began to kiss then, passionately while they were holding onto each other so they could writhe against each other's bodies. When they were soon stopping, he murmured, "Might I love you?"

"I want to do the same for you love," Beckett told him as she moved to lay on her back.

Gently sliding inside of her sex, Castle was groaning in joy while his wife cried out before he said, "I want you again Kate."

"I gcónaí?" Beckett asked him.

"I gcónaí," Castle said seriously, leaning down and capturing her lips with his.

When their kiss eventually ended, Castle and Beckett were very quickly beginning to make love again. They would spend the rest of their anniversary going between coupling eagerly and taking a little rest before they started again. When they finally stopped to sleep it was well into the next morning, but they didn't care. As they were laying pressed close, they spoke a little about their next anniversary since they were eager to celebrate their marriage again. When they finally fell asleep, they were thinking of all the time they had that day to continue the celebration and their intimacy. With that influencing them they dreamt of one another, dreams that would fuel their intense lovemaking once they were awake and coupled euphorically again.
